Putting the only decent looking race aka Blood Elves in the Horde and ignoring them to further promote the tribal theme is already ruining some people's game. There has to be a means of satisfying everyone, having Warchief Vol'jin for example is not one of them. As for the 5.2 Lor'themar spotlight, it all remains to be seen as something interesting might be in store there.

Having Warchief Lor'themar is also not another one. Here's the thing, the Blood Elves were added to the Horde, they are by no means the majority and the Tribal theme is a major part of the Horde if you don't like it, leave. You people seem to be forgetting, the Orcs Were, Are, and Will be, the Horde, everyone else just tagged along. Also if you want to play a happy and prettyful race, I hear the Alliance is always recruiting. They're not even tribal!

Lor'themar would be an awesome. However, people would be pissed. Also Lor'themar isn't fond of ruling his own people, let alone an entire faction. It'll be Baine, Vol'jin, or Thrall. Saurfang is too old, Rexxar hasn't been seen in a while, and there is no one else.

Vol'jin is the least likely. Vol'jin would never take the mantle. He would pass it onto Thrall, and if Thrall doesn't want to (or gets injured), it'll be Baine. I can't imagine Vol'jin actually taking the mantle of Warchief, but I can easily imagine him passing it to Thrall, or to Baine.

I agree Vol'jin wants to deal with his own people and maybe be a council member but that is it.
Thrall, he was what the Horde needed but not anymore he screwed the pooch and bad with Garrosh.
Saurfang, council member yes but he will bitch about it like a mother f@@@@@
Sylvannas, no no no no no no, Bolvar needs to unfreeze his ass and put this bitch next to him on ice forever.
Gamon, I wish but kinda hard if he gets killed in SoO.
Rexxar is formidable and will be a major player if we get a burning legion xpac but Warchief, no.
Baine, well he is sorta cool but he lacks the experience, too young. If Cairne was alive now he would/should be Warchief everyone respected him (Horde and Alliance)
Lor'themar this dude has been brought out of the dark and showed us all he has a pair even Cairn would be jealous of.

So council for me, as to its members, Vol'jin, Lor'themar, Saurfang, Baine and a 5th (must be an orc with a cool head).

A person defending Orcs as a respectful race, yet calling Blood Elves happy and prettyful. Hmm, either there is too much bias or someone is extremely ignorant in terms of lore.

You know, I don't want a Blood Elf warchief, but after everything that's gone on, all the quests and such, Lor'themar is the guy for the job. He has a mind for strategy and politics, but he also doesn't back down from a fight.

That's what is baffling me. He's a nobody. He hasn't had any new lines since vanilla. He's a one-off character that is being utilized in the Nazgrim fight to give people an optional end if they get the meta achievement of keeping him alive.

Gamon will never, ever be in the position where he's a serious candidate for Warchief.

Don't forget, panda's started out as a joke too.

Orcs might have been the beginning of the Horde, but they are not the whole thing. Without the other races the Orcs would have been died a long time ago.
